United States Second Circuit

In dispute over ability to enforce copyright in plaintiff's settlement prices it produces to value customers' open positions, judgment granting summary judgment for defendant, denying plaintiff's cross-motion for partial summary judgment, and declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction is affirmed as: 1) there is no infringement as enforcing the copyright here would effectively accord protection to the idea itself; and 2) dismissal of defendant's state law claims was not an abuse of discretion.
